Kilo Code
Create a custom OpenAI-compatible connection in Kilo Code.
Before you start
One deepthroat key connects Kilo Code to the full text model catalog. Add credits or start an hourly plan on that key.
Setup
- 1Open Kilo Settings → Providers and add a custom provider named deepthroat with API format OpenAI Compatible.
- 2Enter the base URL and your API key below, then click Fetch models to load the full list.
- 3Add the fetched models and save the provider. Switch models from Kilo’s model picker. CLI users can download kilo.jsonc below instead.
Configuration
All 36 models stay included. This only sets the initial selection.
Choose a supported level for this model. Higher effort can take longer.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| API format | OpenAI Compatible |
| Base URL | https://api.cheapai.gay/v1 |
| API key | YOUR_API_KEY |
| Models | Load from the API model list |
For custom reasoning variants, merge the downloaded provider and model settings into your kilo.jsonc, then set the key in the terminal that launches Kilo:
export deepthroatkey="YOUR_API_KEY"

These are the current published text models. Your key’s access rules and model availability still apply. Image-generation models use a separate API.
Verify & troubleshoot
Send a short prompt and check Activity. If models are missing, verify the list with the same API key:
curl "https://api.cheapai.gay/v1/models" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"- 401: replace the placeholder with your actual key and check that it is enabled.
- 402: top up that key or start an hourly plan in the wallet.
- 404: refresh the model list and check the endpoint. Use https://api.cheapai.gay/v1 as the base URL.
- Tool errors: select a tool-capable text model and read the tool calling guide.
